Tall cell varient papillary thyroid cancer

Hey! I'm on the boob journey, but I've seen that people reply to unanswered posts so that it gets bumped up and seen by more people!

Replying in the hope it gets your message to someone who can relate and advise xx

Hi

I was diagnosed with 50% tall cell papillary thyroid cancer in February 2022.  My thyroid was removed along with some lymph nodes on the right side of my neck.  The primary tumour was only 4.5 mm but had already spread to lymph nodes.  I then had radioactive iodine treatment.  
My advice is to have the surgery - I am pretty sure that would be what my oncologist would say.  I am being cared for by the brilliant team at Addenbrookes in Cambridge.
Tall cell variant is more aggressive and it is more likely to recur.  It is also more likely to become resistant to radioactive iodine treatment.
Good luck ! 

and each time 

Thank you,  there is little to no help, advice ect on Anaplastic thyroid cancer. 

Thank you for bumping this for me xx

Thank you gold finch. I am sorry you have been through this too. It's hard to get my head around, the research seems to all lean towards removal and treatment. I know I have had this a year at least now but I have struggled with recovery from my partial thyroidectomy in November and just feel like it's like going back to square one again. 

There seems to be little help out there. Did you have a full thyroidectomy ?
